Part 107 - "The Drone Regulations"

Jonathan Rupprecht

Flight Instructor

About the Instructor

Forbes, Newsweek, Inc., Politico, NPR, HuffPost, The Hill, and many other sources have cited or quoted Jonathan Rupprecht who is a drone lawyer and an FAA certificated commercial pilot with single-engine, multi-engine, and instrument ratings. He has also been an FAA certificated airplane flight instructor and instrument flight instructor for over a decade.

Worked with John Taylor on the famous Taylor v. FAA cases in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals where the court sided with them and struck down some of the FAA's regulations as being illegal. In other words, they beat the FAA at the federal appeals court right below the United States Supreme Court.

Assisted Michael Singer in the Singer v. City of Newton case which was the first case of a federal judge striking down a local drone law as being illegal.

What's included?

How to be confident at flying under the drone regulations without knowing aviation, even though you're struggling to juggle work, life, and study time.

Do any of these statements accurately reflect you?

“I have very little time to dedicate to studying because of my work/life balance. I can’t waste my precious time reading material that does not matter.”

“Can I find someone who is ACTUALLY qualified? The course I took appeared to be designed by some guy who has little aviation background. Some of the courses online had to hire actual real pilots to teach the material. I’m tired of posers.”

“I want to know the regulations so I can fly confidently and not have to worry about looking over my shoulder for some police officer or FAA guy to fine me. I want to be free to get the job done, not getting ambushed by some regulation gotcha.”

If you found yourself saying, “That’s me!” to any of those statements, this course is for you.

Why should I take this course?

It's an Awesome Deal. The instructor is a flight instructor and practicing attorney. If you were to hire someone of his experience to do the equivalent in person, this would cost you thousands of dollars because of the time and research that went into creating 40 videos and 100+ test questions.

Qualified. The course was designed AND taught by an FAA certificated flight instructor, not just some remote pilot turned drone “expert.” The instructor has been a commercial pilot and flight instructor for over a decade. The course instructor is also a practicing aviation attorney.

Insured. Rupprecht Drones has a 1-million-dollar policy covering negligent instruction. If we say something incorrect and there is an accident, this insurance policy is there to make things whole. Do any of the other courses out there carry insurance? Insurance is what separates the posers from the professionals.

Remote Pilot Knowledge Exam Regulations is 15 – 25% of the initial remote pilot knowledge exam and 30-40% of the recurrent exam. So whether you are studying for the initial test or the recurrent test, this course can help you. This course is specifically designed to cover what you need to know from Part 107. Keep in mind there are some other regulations you can be tested on but the bulk of the questions come from Part 107.

This course does NOT cover all the knowledge test areas for the remote pilot knowledge exam such as weather, chart reading, airspace, etc. It is only on regulations.

Have an FAA Waiver? The waivers being given out by the FAA (e.g. night waiver) require the responsible person to “ensure the remote PIC, manipulators of the controls, and VO are informed and familiar with part 107 regulations not waived[.]” A responsible person can choose to require the remote PIC, manipulator of the controls, and VO to all go through this course; thus, saving the responsible person time while providing a 3rd party check on the training. Note that we also have a night operations training course specifically designed for those operating under a night waiver.

FAQs

How long will I have access to the course?

364 days.

After I finish the course, can I go back later and review the materials, retake quizzes, etc.?

Yes.

Does your course cover all the material I need to pass the remote pilot knowledge test?

This course was designed specifically for the Part 107 regulations. Regulations make up 15-25% of the initial knowledge exam and 30-40% of the recurrent knowledge exam. Most of the questions on the exam will be about Part 107. The registration regulations in Parts 47 and 48 are NOT covered in this course. Disclaimer: there is a chance a few registration regulation questions could make their way onto a knowledge test.

Will we be able to use one course to train and retrain the entire staff?

No, here’s why. (1) Each person would be quizzed which forces retention of the material and (2) each completion certificate has their name on it. The certificate acts as documentation of training in case of an FAA audit. The student has access to the course for a year. If you have more than 4 people going through the course, contact us and we can arrange a discount.

Do you offer group pricing for 10 or more students?Yes, email us the details.

Can we pay via one purchase order for our group? Yes, email us the details. We can do one purchase order to get started.

I downloaded a free study guide off the internet to study for the exam. How is this course any different? This course was designed to teach you the knowledge you need to know so you can fly confidently in the United States. Great effort was put into this course to point out things rarely talked about that are of great importance. Furthermore, I know of no other study guides that have over 100 + quiz questions designed by a current flight instructor who is also a practicing aviation attorney.

The course was great and easy to follow. I only had a problem with one section of the course. While on section 107.73 & 107.74 it replayed 107.35, control of multiple drones by one PIC. The test covered the correct material. Other than that, I really thought the course was laid out very well.

I really love this course! The fact that it is taught by an aviation attorney gives you the confidence that you are learning the right thing. Make more courses! :-)

The title states it exactly how it is.

This was a good course to bring me back up to speed on current regulations. I think I would have combined some of the parts, but it was all good information.
